If you’re new to UserVoice, two things to keep in mind are (a) List items (and item rankings) represent community interest in features, and not the actual priority list for the product team; and (b) Suggestions made using this forum will be moderated if they do not actually represent a feature request (or if too many different ideas are included in one suggestion).

How can we improve the Windows dev platform?

I have UWP application and I want to retrieve the Power and Sleep setting information and display it to the UI.

For example: On Windows settings, I set the Sleep timer to Never
Then when I open my UWP application and go to Power setting UI, it will reflect the selected settings in the dropdown list.

My question now is, Is it possible to control (Read, Update) the Power and Sleep setting in Windows 10 thru C# programming. If yes, Any Tips on how to Achieve this feature in my App that I can Change and Display the Sleep settings to the application UI.

I would like to have A2DP Sink profile on windows 10, specially on IoT Core, I know that most of the times is related to the drivers of the BT chip, but citing your site "the following RFCOMM services are not supported:
.
:
:
Audio Source (0x110A) and Sink (0x110B)

If the driver does not have it, why not letting us to implement it through the RFCOMM services?

Ability to read BLE responses from non-paired via event notification. This would allow the app to process messages asynchronously without pairing. Some devices/apps do not have the ability of input (pairing/password).

Im using Windows 10 and VS2017.I have a Finguerprint sensor and Windows hello installed and working fine. It detects finguers. Im now developing a UWP app for multiuser registration using finguerprint. For that propose Im using following part of code:
var keyCreationResult = await KeyCredentialManager.RequestCreateAsync( ("Peter", KeyCredentialCreationOption.ReplaceExisting);

The problem I found is that it currently shows a UI dialog asking for current loged in user credentials confirmation. It was suppose to show afther this the Windows Hello Settings page for finguerprint detection( as is in the normal Windows 10 "Windows Hello" Settings page). Afther loged in user confirmation the dialog closes and no forther finguerprint detection is possible. I dont know is this is a Security norm from Microsoft to not allow outside settings finguer detection ?! . Please can someone implement this line of code and let me know if if is already working? and how develop more library for correctly use multiuser finguerprint registration and detection. thank you Jose Lopes

Please add a trigger to start a background task when a nearby NFC tag is recognized. The current options have the current drawbacks for me:
- To react on a NFC tag my app currently has to start which can be time-consuming and could interupt the user in his current task on another app
- The NFC tag is currently only recognized when the phone or lock screen is active. It would be more convenient for the user if my app could react on the NFC tag even when the phone is locked.

Currently SmartCard API doesn't have any method to force a reader to reset smartcard (Cold Reset or Warm Reset as described in ISO7816-3). It is important as fallback mechanism when the smart card is not responding.

Microsoft finally developed a library able to handle NFC devices. Unfortunately the library is only able to get the NDEF messages and doesn't give the UID of the card!
Is there a reason why this UID is not saved in the Proximity-Device once the NFC card is read?

In the Windows.Devices.SerialCommunication namespace, there is an `internal` interface named ISerialDevice. I can see it when I "go to definition" on SerialDevice. SerialDevice implements ISerialDevice.

In order to break my code's dependency on actual hardware so I could automate my tests, I had to reinvent the wheel. By keeping this interface internal, I was forced to re-create the interface (mostly) and create a wrapper around SerialDevice that implemented it.

That's a lot of code to write when the interface already exists. I'm sure making the interface public would save a number of developers a fair amount of effort and frustration.

> Checks for availability of a biometric (fingerprint) verifier device and performs a biometric verification.

However, if you have a PIN on your system, it treats that as a biometric device as well. This is not what the documentation indicates. UserConsentVerifier should not treat a PIN as a biometric device. It might make sense to have another method alongside RequestVerificationAsync that allows consent verification via PIN or password, but there needs to be a way to request biometric-only consent verification.

The SmartCard sample (https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/SmartCard) demonstrates how to define a friendly name for a virtual smart card when the virtual smart card is created (see RequestVirtualSmartCardCreationAsync in Scenario1_ProvisionTPM). Unfortunately, neither the SmartCard class nor the SmartCardProvisioning class (nor any other related class) provides a means of retrieving the friendly name later. A getter for this value should be added.

Currently Microsoft doesn't have any specific support for beacons. Beacons are the next generation rulers in the market. As a windows developer, I don't see a good future for windows here,

When ever I contact any manufacturer of beacons, they basically hesitate to support windows, because the limitation in the windows featurest. We don;t have any separate library for beacons. Beacon also considered as normal bluetooth device. Currently I can only read (that too has many limitations) , I can't communicate. This is a big drawback.

We expected this will be solved in windows 10 , but not yet. Till now many clients for my company left out windows and they moved to iOS and Android.

If this is going to continue, then windows will face huge drawback. I have raised many questions related to this in community forum. There was no input from there.

I'm not sure you guys will have a look on this quickly or not. Even if you have a look I'm not sure about your priority.

Windows wings are currently cut down in this area. It's better if we wake up early.

Possibility to list usb devices connected to the phone, and interact with the connect devices.

Works on Android, connect a USB hub and a lot of usb gadgets (with no driver support) and open a socket/connection to the device to use it. Use it a lot with IoT gadgets and android, would love to change the android device to a windows phone device and use c#.

There are situations in which it's necessary to securely store sensitive credentials but having them roam across devices is undesirable. On iOS, this can be done by creating a keychain item with the attribute kSecAttrAccessibleWhenPasscodeSetThisDeviceOnly. On Windows, there does not appear to be a way to add a PasswordCredential object to the PasswordVault with roaming disabled.
